night and danced until late hour on
board the monitor Catskill. They were
Hospitality entertained by Commander
Mullen.
The movement made in the Rich

towards the removal of the monitor

stationed since the war, to Richmond
causes regret here. The officers OF the
fleet are very popular in Petersburg,
and our people are often Hospitality en-
tertained on these ships.

ish citizen, who has been sick for some

freely during the week. 1t is generally

bic condition and the farmers in good
spirits in consequence.
